The $100 Original Penguin Plaid Weekend Duffel

UPDATE: Use code SAVE40R for 40% off. Brings it to $89.99 Credit to Andrew in the Comments.

As stupid as it sounds, a great looking weekend bag is a game changer. It’s the catalyst for making your long weekend escape terrific from the second you lock the door behind you. Even if it’s a more casual version like this one from Original Penguin, a good looking bag (when combined with a comfortable yet still sharp outfit) can turn the travel part of your trip from barely bearable to downright enjoyable.

Already on sale for $149.99 (which is still a little too expensive), the extra 33% off code gets this weekend duffel down to a reasonable one hundred dollars, and they kick in free shipping as well.

The only issue is not knowing what the size is. Which is kind of key. Looks to be a decent size. Just enough to fit enough clothes in for a night, maybe two. UPDATE: Got a response from Original Penguin Customer Service. Dimensions of the bag are: 11x11x20. Or, used in tandem with another weekend bag for trips that last a couple nights or require a bit more gear.
